∙ 12y agoIf you melt the butter into a liquid it will make the cookie dough loose its thickness and it'll be less thicker and maybe a little like pancake mix. But if the directions tell you to melt the butter then it should be ok.

And you need to use real butter instead of margarine because margarine has a higher water content, which won't give results as good as butter or oil will.

∙ 15y agono- that gives completely the wrong texture, and it could easily curdle. you can stick the butter in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften it if you want. this will make it easier to mix

∙ 14y agoyou could. just make sure you melt it and the end product might not be as moist.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoDo not melt the butter unless the recipe calls for it. If the temperature is not specified, you are to assume room temperature. In cake mixes, usually the butter s NOT melted
